    the romans were the ones who started portraying Britainia as a woman while it was a colony

    I thought the Germans portrayed their country as a man

      Yeah but the Brits definitely ran with Britannia as a woman for many centuries after the Romans so I think it still counts.

      As for Germany: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(personification)
